Crossing Svalbard in the far north of our amazing planet is home to polar bears, frozen landscape and is one of the most unique adventure destinations on the planet.
You have completed our Nordic ski and Polar travel course in Norway. Now it’s time to put those skills to practice and ski across Svalbard. You will ski across a frozen ocean and navigate your way through mountain passes and experience one of the most unique landscapes on the planet.
Crossing Svalbard is achieved on ski’s. We will be crossing Svalbard pulling all our equipment in bulks, setting in camps on the wild glaciers that cover the whole Island. To get the most out of our Svalbard crossing trip, we recommend physical training 4/5 times a week and some previous Nordic skiing is necessary and important.
We have a great team of highly qualified staff, ex-military and special forces to lead the way. From Oslo in Norway you can fly into Longyearbyen and over night in a local guesthouse. This will give the team a few nights to sort through gear, food and pulks prepared for the 8 day crossing of Svalbard.
We will also do a training day on the ice near Longyearbyen. Once the team is ready we will move by snowmobile to the start of the skiing route. We will cover specific Polar training skills, Polar navigation, defense against Polar bears, sea ice travel, camp craft and camping routines. The cost of this training start from $5,500
